The senator representing Kano Central Senatorial District, Rufai Hanga has explained that seeking God’s mercy pushed him to donate 2,000 clay pots and 10,500 yards of white cloth to the Muslim graveyards in his constituency.
Hanga, who is the Deputy Minority Chief Whip of the 10th Senate and a member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, received a backlash from the public a few days ago following reports of his donation of burial materials to his people.
Speaking on the development, Senator Hanga maintained the donation was not part of his constituency project as widely reported.
In his first news conference since his election in 2023, Hanga stated that such a gesture was not new. He said it was something he had been doing even before his election.
He added that it was a family legacy he grew up seeing and inheriting, which he hoped to continue throughout his life.
